I wanted to share the feedback that I got from my presentation this year at the PASS Summit. (http://drowningintechnicaldebt.com/blogs/shawnweisfeld/archive/2008/11/23/sql-pass-2008-talk.aspx) Again thank you to all that attended, and a special thank you to those that provided feedback it is an invaluable tool to help presenters improve over time. (BTW these are all the comments, I did not filter them at all)
Overall 4.44 out of 5
What is your overall evaluation of the session? 4.5Difficult topic to present. He did a good job.Good content. Bonus content at the end took it to the next level without getting exotic. Wirht the time to sit...

Microsoft released a set of controls called the ASP.NET charting controls. I don’t know if they licensed this from Dundas, however in one of my projects I was able to replace Dundas with this in about 30 min. Most of the class names are the same. Oh and they are FREE!!!!! The only caveat is that you have to be using .NET 3.5.
